Starting Up Your Device — Quick & Secure 🚀
Welcome! This guide walks you through powering, securing, and verifying your Trezor hardware wallet. It’s written for first-time users who value simple, secure steps. Follow each step carefully to protect your crypto and private keys.
2
Power Up & Connect 🔌
Connect the Trezor to your computer or mobile using the supplied USB cable. Use the official start page or a trusted app to begin.
3
Install Firmware & Verify 🔍
Allow the device to install the latest firmware. Verify the firmware fingerprint on-screen and use the official website to confirm authenticity.
4
Create PIN & Backup 🔐
Set a PIN you will remember but others won't guess. Write your recovery seed on the provided card — never store it digitally.
5
Verify Addresses ✅
Always verify receiving addresses on the hardware device screen before sending funds. This prevents malware address substitution.

Test with a Small Amount 💧
Send a small test amount first. When confirmed, proceed with larger transfers. Confidence > hurry.
